ahowe6464 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 NOLA looks good. I'd switch yellow for green though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darknes Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 What about using Atoms for Las Vegas? Neon Green, Silver and Black in reference to the Atomic testing that went down outside Vegas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedfieldNick Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 One thing that I have noticed is the fact that that there are no teams named after a plane, so I was thinking maybe the Nighthawks? With a black, purple and white? Or would that look too much like the Rockies? Welcome to Kansas, where you can see your future, literally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NHL Las Vegas team has been named "Golden Knights", so I won't be using the Charlotte Knights franchise. I'd like to change the 51's team, but I have no ideas right now. I think adding the 6 expansion teams may have been a mistake (basically because the ideas I've had have been lame). I think I'll do the Portland Thorns to finish the series, and, after a couple of months, I'll start a new tweak series, applying all the suggestions I've got through this one, including for the 6 expansion teams. I don't think you're giving yourself enough credit. The Sounds, 51s, Dusters and now the Voodoo have all turned out really well. It's really difficult to come up with a completely new identity from scratch, much less six, so you picked two of the better MiLB identities, making a big improvement to one (the 51's) in the process, came up with two (soon to be three) pretty solid ones of your own and brought back an old favorite with new colors. I think the Voodoo are one team that would actually look good in pinstripes, especially since you dropped the purple pinstripes from your Rockies set. My other suggestion would be to use a less plain numbers style. Maybe use the same style numbers as the wordmarks? If that's not an option, then something similar to the late '70s White Sox uni numbers might look cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try to apply the font from the wordmarks to the Voodoo's numebrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you use the Isotopes logo for Las Vegas, you could easily flip it upside down to make a 'V', or keep it upright for the 'A' in Atoms. Either way, it would look pretty cool.

coco1997 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 My only request is that you go with this Dodgers-insipred throwback design for the wordmarks: Because their current wordmarks are atrocious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank for the suggestion. Tomorrow I'll start with the designs for the Thorns, and hopefully I'll get them finished before Monday. They will be the last post of the series, after more than two month. After this, I'll be making two soccer-related series, and then, I'll come back to baseball to make "Re-Tweaks" of this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victormrey Posted November 27, 2016 Author Share Posted November 27, 2016 So... This is it. Time for the Portland Thunders, the last team of the series. I decided to go for cream with pinstripes for the home design, keeping the other 3 uniforms simple. In the end I didn't add the underline to the wordmarks because I think they look better without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victormrey Posted November 27, 2016 Author Share Posted November 27, 2016 Given this is the end of the series, I'd like to thank you all for the feedback and support I've got since the start. I've had a lot of fun doing the designs, and I hope you've enjoyed them. I'll be revising every single design in order to improve them (especially the expansion teams designs), and, as I've already said, I'll be starting a "Tweak Series V.2" within a couple of months.
